The so-called "Islamic State" is continuing to commit more and more heinous crimes against humanity in their bid for more territory and dominance. This comes in the wake of the James Foley killing, the killing (many by beheading) of 700 tribesmen in eastern Syria, the detailing of mass executions in Iraq, and a long list of many, many more atrocities.

Today, for their first time, they have documented the killing via decapitation of a Lebanese soldier. This presumably happened near Qalamoon, where a few weeks ago fighters from both IS and Nusra entered Arsal, Lebanon.

They have also released a new propaganda video in which they document the beheading of a Kurdish Peshmerga soldier. The Peshmerga are fighting IS in Iraq and are overtly recieving US aid, weapons, and are being assisted by the US via air support. The IS states that more beheadings will happen unless the Peshmerga stop working with the United States. Interestingly enough, they dress the poor captive similar to how they did James Foley.

Activists are also reporting that the IS has detained, tortured, and then crucified a Nusra fighter in Dayr az-Zour province in eastern Syria. This is just another report of the IS crucifying people in the areas they control in both Syria and Iraq.

Lastly, a new video has emerged which claims to show IS executing 200 Assad regime soldiers in their recent capturing of Tabqa airbase in Syria. According to some claims, most of these soldiers were conscripts, who were subsequently forced to fight for Assad (this claim is not verified and according to my knowledge the video is not 100% verified either). The video does not show the actual executions, but one can see that there is a ton of bodies laid out before the viewer. Video may not be suitable for everyone.
